Cole Franson is a jiu jitsu black belt under Maurico Mariano in 2018. Franson built his reputation as one of America’s rising BJJ athletes while competing in the lower belt divisions of the sport, a time when Cole conquered important titles in the IBJJF Pan American Championship, the UAEJJF Continental Pro tournament, and the SJJF World Championships.  Cole is teaching our No Gi adult program for all levels. 

Bruce Suzuki was introduced to jiu jitsu in 2009, while taking up the sport to stay in shape., he quickly fell in love with the gentle art, and have since dedicated his time and energy toward training and improving. Bruce has two children who train and it has became a very rewarding family activity. Jiu jitsu has been a positive and rewarding experience for Bruce and his family, that he now gets to share it with everyone here at the academy as he teaches three nights a week and Saturday class. In 2022 Bruce received his Black belt from Renan Silva/Ralph Gracie. He would love to have the privilege and opportunity, to be a part of your jiu jitsu journey.
